Is the pillow cold? Was it sitting outside on your porch in the middle of winter? Memory foam is notorious for getting rock solid when exposed to cold temperatures. Wait for it to warm up and test again. It should be softer. If this is not the case, then you might have a faulty product. Thank you for taking the time to read my answer; I hope it was helpful to you!

The pillow inflation can be adjusted to your liking. Initially I didn't think it inflated enough so I actually blew more air into it. (with my mouth, like a balloon). It was a little too much, especially if you don't like sleeping on a balloon. After letting some air out, I was able to find an inflation that was pretty comfortable for me. I'm sure you could do the same.

We thought the same thing. I could not possibly sleep on it! This foam is so very, very hard. I advise against it for a bed.

I wasn't uncomfortable sleeping with the cloud pillow from the first night but for me I would say it took a week for the pillow to fully mould to my head/neck and for this weird smell that came with it to go away. I read all the pillows have a smell when you first open it but it does go away. i just febreezed my pillow in the beginning. Also for some reason this winter my room has been very cold (my bed next to a window) so my pillow gets frozen like it doesn't mold right away so I put

I disliked the pillow. It is hard as a rock. I sleep on my back & it did not work for me. Costco has a pillow that is firm, but it can still fit under the neck & gives good support. I do not recommend My Pillow at all.

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

We have two of these pillows in use at this time. We have not encountered the difficulty that you describe. Unless you plan to change the water every night, the very cold water is not a very convenient solution. My daughter did notice the pillow did heat up when exposed to the heating vent, but she actually enjoyed that experience. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

yes it sure did for me. I loved the pillow but it was just not for my neck pain/injuries. if it had been a shorter rise (low rise) I'd have kept it. it does not push down much when you sleep on it and it holds it's firmness. yet it's not hard like some foam pillows are. if they ever make a low rise pillow I'm going to get it as I really wanted to keep it. for a good neck it would be perfect.

WASH IT??? What I got looked like a giant postage stamp. It was NOT a body pillow at all. It was a nightmare. It camestuffed in a box and flat as a pan cake. I think if it were to be washed, it would shrink and become nearly invisible

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

We haven't actually used this yet. I bought it to replace one (not same brand) that I disposed of. The other one I had "looked" just like this. I blew it up after I rec'd it and it seemed pretty firm. My husband and I slept on the other one I had (combined weight 345 or so) & slept very comfortably. I know this probably wasn't much help & maybe you can get better answers from someone else. I do love the pump, just plug it in & airs up pretty quickly & same with deflating. I actually got it back in the bag it came in. Good luck!!

I am loving the pillow, even though I thought I made a mistake at first. The pillow is soft. You have to "fluff it up to move the shredded foam around. No, the pillow is not hot. I snuggle my head down and the pillow cradles my neck. Originally, I bought two queen pillows. After I slept on them for a week, I ended up loving them so much that I bought two king pillows for another bed. Hope this helps

No. That is not normal. I've had my pillow for 1yr and 9mths and it's still as solid and comfortable as the day I got it.

I didn't notice anything like that but I HATE this pillow. Its too fluffy. What toddler sleeps on a pillow this fluffy? I wont give it to my kids...does this thing flatten after use?

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.

It's not supposed to be rock hard, I would contact Amazon and tell them what happened, they will give you your money back, it sounds like the product is defective. We are using ours again when it gets to warm for our dog.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems
